Annual ‘Choo Choo Chow Chow’ fundraising campaign for children’s hospitals
WASHINGTON, D.C. – March 27, 2013 – (RealEstateRama) — Howard Hanna Real Estate Services Chairman and CEO, Howard W. “Hoddy” Hanna, III, announced today that the company’s 2012 donations to local children’s hospitals topped $760,000, up from $695,000 last year.
The company’s annual “Choo Choo Chow Chow” fundraising campaign, established 25 years ago, has donated $8.3 million for the care of children at children’s hospitals in market areas that the company serves.
“Our goal is to see every child treated regardless of their financial resources or insurance status,” said Hanna.
“The ongoing dedication of our sales associates, management team and staff to the Children’s Free Care Fund is tremendous as thousands of volunteer hours are spent planning office Chow Chow events, striving to make them better and better every year,” added Hanna. “Additionally, the remarkable support we receive from our business partners and sponsors, along with people in the community, is what makes it all work.”
In conjunction with the “Chow Chow” events, Howard Hanna conducts an annual raffle benefitting the Children’s Free Care Fund. This year’s $10,000 cash prize was won by Doug Yaple of Erie, PA. The winning ticket, sold by the Howard Hanna Erie South office at 5620 Peach Street, was drawn on February 26, 2013.
